With the Rivian stories talking about getting #Chilewhiched and info about the interior fabric I was curios and found this.

I'm curious to feel them, in person. We have Chilewhich placemats on our kitchen table and we like them, but they seem too dainty for floor mat duty. I assume they've been "beefed up" for Rivian's purposes.

It's definitely durable stuff, and I do like the look. The chilewich material itself is not very thick, so floor mat use will depend on what they back it with. I do think that fine dirt/dust can make it through the weave, so we'll just have to see how it holds up to real use and how easy it is to clean.

Despite the @jimcgov3 paint job, the coasters are pretty cool. ?

Honestly it was a big question I had for them when they were doing the 2019 events. Kids + Georgia clay can really make cleaning the carpeted surfaces tough. As silly as it sounds, these cleaning videos are nice.

Now if they would just do one with a pressure washer :D

Dude. That is some sick artwork! I wish Rivian would send me some #Chilewiched coasters. Super jealous!

I honestly don't think much will stick to those mats...I was able to easily clean the overspray on the mat using a Q-tip and a little finger nail polish remover and it came right off...

That's what they used in the prototype, but there's no telling if it will be the same for production. We also know Ocean Coast uses a different color than Black Mountain and Forest Edge.
